MANDATORY ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION CARD

Our cousins across the pond are proposing a mandatory electronic ID card for all adults working in the U.K.  Part of the idea is to cut down on illegal workers.  The proposal is getting a lot of negative backlash from the general population, saying that they don't believe the government will keep the required information secure.  They are probably right.  Doesn't mean it won't happen.  At times the government over there cares about as much about the peasants as the government in California does, which is damn little.

The card would be available to all residents, but would be mandatory for all persons who have a job.
